The current research explored perceptions of disclosing the information of “I am gay”, “I am heterosexual”, and “I am a virgin” to a variety of audiences. Participants were 842 undergraduate students who evaluated the valence of each disclosure, listed the associated feelings, and rated the comfort of disclosing such information to various audiences (e.g., a family member, online community). Pa...

RESUME. Le secteur du BTP a connu, ces dernières années, une nouvelle manière de modéliser un projet à travers la maquette numérique, ou le BIM. Ce dernier facilite la communication et la collaboration entre les différents acteurs du projet, particulièrement pour les grands projets avec une géométrie complexe. Inspirés de la notion de co-conception, notre travail consiste principalement à mieux...

This research stream uses neuroscience approaches to study information modeling constructs. Information modeling models the problem domains to facilitate understanding and communication during the information systems development process. Accurate representation and interpretation of the information models are vital to the success of information systems projects. The building blocks of informati...

In his article "What information should be disclosed to patients" 1 (Lahey Clinic Medical Ethics Newsletter, Fall 2002). David Steinberg notes that none of the traditional standards for determining what information patients should receive is wholly satisfactory. Instead of these standards, Steinberg suggests that physicians consider eight characteristics of the information they are thinking abo...

Chromatin structure and dynamics that are influenced by epigenetic marks, such as histone modification and DNA methylation, play a crucial role in modulating gene transcription. To understand the relationship between histone modifications and regulatory elements in breast cancer cells, we compared our chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) histone modification patterns for histone ...

Providing public access to unprotected digital data can pose a threat of unwanted disclosing the restricted information. The problem of protecting such information can be divided into two main subclasses, namely, individual and group data anonymity. By group anonymity we define protecting important data patterns, distributions, and collective features which cannot be determined through analyzin...

We examined the effect of disclosing to others an attempted or completed rape. Eighty-five undergraduate women who acknowledged attempted or completed rape wrote about their experience and read their narratives. In a 2 x 2 design, we examined the value of writing only factual information versus factual plus emotional information, and reading to oneself versus reading aloud to another woman. Bef...
